SIXTH AND MAIN STS VANCOUVER. WASH. TEN ACRES IN OREGON MEANS PLENTY OPPORTUNITY beckons In Oregon to the man with limited or mod erate means who will ln-est In small tracts of acreage. If he will use only ordinary care and judgment In select ing his location and making sure that the soil Is productive, he will succeed; provided he possesses Industry and de termination. There have been so many examples cited recently of men who were making a good living and more on 10 acres In Oregon that repetition no longer ex cites interest. It has been absolutely proved that by reason of the fact that more Intensive farming Is possible with a small place than with a large one, it is actually easier to accomplish given results with the smaller acreage. Ten acrea is the' unit that Is gener ally used In discussing the question of small farms. Fifteen or 20-acre places come under the same general head for purposes of discussion, and there are many little farms of five acres, or even less, that are-supporting families. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has been active in seeking out small farm ers who are doing well on 10 acres and have published some interesting bul letins on the subject. This desired result cannot be achieved on any 10 acres, of course. The land must be the best deep, fertile and durable. Climatic conditions must be favorable, with plenty of moisture. a long growing season and freedom from dangerous frosts, floods and storms. Moreover, nearness to a center of population large enough to Insure a dependable market is essential; and tranaDortatlon facilities for reaching that market quickly and cheaply, equal ly mn A rain, even with all of these conditions satisfied, not all methods of agriculture produce the necessary in come. Wheat will not do it. even with 60 bushels to the acre and wheat at $1. Clover and timothy will not do it even with three or four tons to the acre- and hay at $20 a ton. Cattle or sheep or hogs or even milch cows will not do it, without a large expenditure for extra feed. For these products, larger areas of cheaper land are necessary. The 10-acre farmer Is of necessity a specialist and a specialist In the crops that bring the largest returns irora me smallest area. , It Is possible that In the various parts of the United States there may be found the conditions requisite to suc cess on 10 acres; but It Is certain that these conditions are satisfied in Ore gon.

Main 8990 A 4186 Oregon Is a big state, and Is divided by the Cascade Mountains into two sec tions In which conditions are very dif ferent. Western Oregon, Including the valleys of the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, is a humid country. That is, the natural rainfall is heavy am ple, under ordinary circumstances, to mature crops. Eastern Oregon is arid or semi-arid. Here, as far as the small tract Is concerned, irrigation is indis pensable. In both districts, the soil la very productive and the climate aside from the Inadequacy of the rain fall In Eastern Oregon Is very favor able. In either district, however. 10 acres will maintain a family. They are alike in that respect. In the Irri gated sections the soil Is nearly all good, and If the water supply is ade quate, almost any 10 acrea will serve. In Western Oregon, greater care Is necessary in selecting the acreage. By far the greater part of the land is ex cellent, it is true; but the prospective purchaser must be sure the soil is deep and well drained. toth as to -water and air. A running stream Is of great ad vantage,, and a good well for domestic water supply Is a consideration. In the valley bottoms along the water courses such land can be found. The black "swale" lands are excellent; the true "beaverdam" land, of which there are thousands of acres In Oregon, is per fectly adapted. But much of the hill land, especially the so-called "red shot" soil. Is equally as suitable. In either Eastern or Western Oregon such lands as meet these requirements are comparatively high priced. The de mand for them is large and Is constant ly Increasing. They are worth the prices asked, because. If properly worked, they will return an excellent Income on the money Invested. Irri gated land brings from 1150 to $300 per acre, and. In the new districts. Is sold on easy payments. The price usually Includes the water right, but a maintenance fee of from $1 to $3 per acre is charged. The cost of clearing the land. levelAg it to receive 1 the water and constructing the necessary flumes, ditches, etc., will run from $10 to $50 an acre. For lands under culti vation, with Improvements, higher prices Are asked. For suitable lands in Western Oregon there is a wide variety of prices. Ex cellent land on transportation lines within 10 miles of the City of Portland can be bought for $200 and $400 an acre. The price decreases with distance, and It Is perfectly possible to find suitable land for $75 or even $50 an acre. In THE FARMER IS THE ONLY INDEPEND ENT MAN!

Main 3204. 313-14 Selling Bldg. any event, the 10 acres should be on a good road leading to a good market. Rural mall delivery and telephone serv ice are almost essential, and are gener ally found throughout the more settled sections. In an Irrigated district elec tricity is commonly available. Perhaps the easiest and surest way of making a living from a small piece of ground In Oregon Is to raise poul try. Whether as an adjunct or a busi ness, the profits from poultry In Ore gon kre large and reliable. This Is due both to the favorableness of con ditions and to the high prices for poul try products. Prices for eggs range from 25 cents to 65 cents per doxen. And this in spite of the fact that in this state eggs can be produced at a food cost as low as. If not lower than, anywhere in the United States. The genial, equable climate is greatly to the advantage of the birds. At no time Is it necessary to pen them in a coop for protection against severe cold, and Summer conditions prevail a large part of the year. There 'are no abrupt and extreme changes In temperature In the Spring to endanger the life of the young chicks. And a large invest ment in warm houses is not necessary. Green food Is available every day of the year. A patch of Kale will provide this indispensable element in the chick ens' bill of fare.. Alfalfa Is an excel lent food, either green or chopped. Wheat and barley are the grains most commonly fed. Average egg production is high. Many chicken men count on from 123 to 150 per fowl per annum, which is decidedly above the average for the United States. The high degree of healtfulness of the fowl is another asset. There are many fanciers, of . course, increasing their profits by the sale of breeding stock. But handled simply for the eggs and the sale of cockerels, old hens and surplus stocK for eating, the chicken business pre sents great opportunities1 to the man with a small tract. And no matter in what way he handles his land, he should certainly keep a flock of hens, the larger the better. Emphasis should be placed upon the value of poultry to the orchardlst or the truck gardener. They will turn the waste products into money, consume countless insects and furnish a valuable fertilizer. Ducks and gees are kept under about the same conditions as hens, but tur keys are raised very largely on the "range." They are permitted to roam at will and pick their own feed, re ceiving grain only when very young and a few weeks before marketing. So it would appear that the 10-acre farm er's venture in turkey-raising must be on a limited scale. The Old B0RW1CK ha? Just been subdivided Into tracts of from ZVs to 10 acres each, and will be sold on the easiest kind of terms. The first five tracts will be sold at $275 per acre.
